In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/573/2023 and seen by TheCable on Thursday, Lukman asked the court to determine whether the defendants are not obligated to call for a NEC meeting to present quarterly financial income and expenditure of the APC to members of the NEC.

He thereafter asked the court for; “An order mandating/directing the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd defendants to immediately call for or cause to be called and held the meeting of the NEC of the APC for purpose of presenting proposed guidelines and regulations governing the conduct of elections to the party offices at all levels and procedure for selecting party candidates for elective offices, including the selection and zoning of leadership of the national assembly to the members of the national executive committee.
